The Department of Political Science stimulates curiosity and develops technical proficiency in the areas of politics and government. The department recognizes that its graduates go primarily to graduate or law schools, to state, local or federal governmental agencies or into active politics. It prepares students for these varied career goals through its courses and a series of workshops, seminars, state and federal legislative internships, and work and study in other countries. The curriculum seeks to facilitate an understanding of the patterns of relationships which exist between the citizen and the polity.
